Many people believe that countries should produce food for the whole population and import as little food as possible. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

The economic

independence

of a

country

is measured by myriad factors.

In addition

to

this

,

food

independence

, considered to be

one

of the chief factors. Many people are of the opinion that countries should only provide

food

for their people and

also

, they should not import the high amount of

food

from other countries. I do not totally see eye to eye with those have

this

notion.

To begin

,

food

security is

one

of the most important issues in the contemporary world since nutrition is

one

of the basic needs of people.

Additionally

, when a

country

can be called

independence

in

food segment

Suggestion

the food segment

that their import dependence on

food

products should be significantly lower than export dependence. Many people believe that countries should concentrate on presenting their citizens'

food

resources and do not tend to import

food

from overseas countries.

Firstly

,

one

of the main reasons behind

this

conceit is that importing

food

from foreign countries can be seriously detrimental to local farmers so governments should take their people's welfare into consideration as a primary priority. Alternatively, some people believe that imported foods

such

as fruits and vegetables are unhealthy. More specifically, they often contain added chemicals for preventing the fruits and vegetables from ripening.

In addition

to

this

, it has been said, they mostly are included artificial flavour and colour

thus

, all these made them unhealthy for the body.

By contrast

, economists highly believe that economic development requires openness in the economy.

Therefore

, in order to have a dynamic and

economy

Suggestion

economically

openness; countries should applaud international trading. Becoming an

independence

country

in

food

segment is not a piece of cake and that

country

should have proper fertilize lands and

moreover

, should have advanced farming machines.

Thus

, countries which are surrounded by many mountains or having a shortage of water supplies might be having problem to become an

independence

Suggestion

independent

country

in

food

sector. It is obvious that citizens' demand for not importing other countries'

food

would be completely irrational. To sum up, I think if a

country

becomes

independence

in

food

segment; it is considered as a huge achievement for that

country

.

However

, I strictly believe stopping importing

food

from other countries would be completely illogical decision for every

country

and even worldwide economic.
